Clinton School Dean Skip Rutherford is giving the welcome address at today’s summit on race and equity hosted by the Clinton School Center on Community Philanthropy
The summit, titled “Racial Healing and Equity in the American South” will commemorate the 15th anniversary of President Bill Clinton’s “One America in the 21st Century” initiative on race.
Rutherford will reflect on the 1998 “One America” report issued by a national advisory board appointed by President Clinton.
He will highlight the current day importance of dialogue, one of the recommendations from the 1998 report. In addition, he will compare the American South of President Abraham Lincoln with the American South of President Barack Obama.
In recognition of this historic event, the Center on Community Philanthropy will welcome back its previous scholars in residence for the release of its second edition compendium.
